Madden San Miguel, a 10-year-old boy known as “Baby Gronk”, has reportedly already received a scholarship offer from a top football program.
“Baby Gronk” has emerged as a social media celebrity thanks to the efforts of his father, Jake. The nickname “Baby Gronk” largely stems from the size and athleticism he has displayed for a child of his age.
Speaking to Ari Wasserman of The Athletic in an exclusive interview,, Jake revealed that his son has already received “a verbal offer” from Arizona. However, the 10-year-old phenom simply can’t commit to the school yet:
“He’s got one real offer, from Arizona, a verbal offer.
No, he can’t (commit). They are saying not until seventh grade. People are going to offer in the Power 5 when he gets to seventh grade. The system is a whole lot different. It’s not that hard to get an offer, let me put it that way. … I go to these Power 5s and I see kids who shouldn’t be there. It’s more about who you know and who can get you in. It’s not how they think of, “Oh you have to be incredible.” A lot of those kids will never play a down at the schools. I have seen it, I know how they do it.”
In the same interview with Wasserman, Jake revealed that his son is making close to $100,000 annually through promos and advertisements. When asked, Jake stated that the money is entirely going away for Baby Gronk.
The Baby Gronk Instagram page already has over 322,000 followers, and there have already been interviews and well-documented interactions with social media personality Paige Spiranac and Pro Bowl offensive lineman Taylor Lewan.
It’s fitting that Baby Gronk has been issued an offer from Arizona. That just so happens to be the alma mater of Rob Gronkowski, whom fans and analysts often referred to as “Gronk” during his illustrious career.
